Absolutely true. Big Brother is here...we're just waiting for the "coming out" party.

With the goal being to enshrine (not grant) individual liberty, freedom and sovereignty, no finer document has ever been written.

Good points Mike, but let's not forget "giving aid and comfort" to our enemies. We wage perpetual war against...who? Al Qaeda? The Muslim Brotherhood? But supply them with weapons and funding? Invite them into the nation to wage terrorism in the west? Insanity at its finest...

As (I think) Jim K likes to say...Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.
Hoppe is right on the money.

Wow Waffler, are you trying to justify the IRS and Government intervention into our lives by comparing them to the traffic code?
Totally inane. One is required in order to save lives...the other is a parasite.

This is why Corporations and the Government need to be separated. If you're still naive enough to think that Monsanto, Bechtel and a host of others cornered the market (so to speak) all by themselves....then you need to take another look. The problem isn't business...the problem is Government getting in bed with business. The most offensive arrangement is still the one between the Government and the Federal Reserve / IRS. It is the underpinning of absolutely everything that manipulates us and our well being. Abolish the Fed!

Archer, funny isn't it how history repeats itself?
When the English did the same thing in the 1700's that the liberal progressives are doing now, it sparked a revolution....

There are no good guns, there are no bad guns. A bad guy with a gun is a bad thing. A good guy with a gun is a good thing. ~ Heston

And of course from the liberal point of view what we are seeing are opposite and unintended consequences. The Kenyan Imposter has now become the greatest gun salesman in history. On that note I say, Go Obama!

Racism is indeed the doctrine of brutes. And we are in fact all being victimized by it. From our own government to the "community organizers" like Sharpton and Obama racism is a tool of division and it is being used as a tool of control. And Ron Weaver...what? DNA and heredity don't exist? That is an absurd statement. We all have characteristics inherited from our parents by way of DNA. That is a fact.

A reminder that we need to mind our own business and be responsible for our own actions and well being. If everyone did that, the world would be just fine.

That's right Archer...and America has become a labor camp.

Yep, Congress justifies its daily existence trying to do things "for the greater good". And no other excuse has ever been given for tyranny. Its time to fundamentally change America...back to the Constitution and a system of justice.

Richard, greed is a vice. One that is enshrined by our government and its corporate cronies and it steals from us all.

A flowery description of communism...

Partial Lyrics from Bruce Cockburn's "Call it Democracy"
Felt like sharing it I guess...

IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

See the paid-off local bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
Open for business like a cheap bordello

And they call it democracy

Entirely too real. And exactly what we are seeing in the west today. It's kind of like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion with the progressives (parasites) cheering on...

While the quote does seem to bear a modicum of logic, I would like to think it is not entirely true.
The members of the armed forces come from families that may own property, and each was raised in a neighborhood where he learned about and hopefully came to respect the ideas of property, family and liberty. That said, I would rather think that the militart understand their role, which is to protect those ideas. Not blindly obey orders. Still, the right to keep and bear is based on the right to self defense, whether it's from a home invader or a tyrannical government (same thing?) I like the oxymoron example Mike.

Absolutely.

And here we have the underlying thought that inspired the Second Amendment. And an obvious truth.

Exactly John, The IRS is NOT part of our government which is why it is not under the purvue of our court system. It is owned and operated by the privately (foreign) owned Federal Reserve Bank which is the flag ship bank of the IMF. UnConstitutional doesn't even begin to describe it. It is government condoned extortion.
Condoned because the government itself is bought and paid for...time for change, and NOT the Obama kind.

Poor Waffler....so brainwashed he can't see what an absolutely anti-American jerk he and his 90,000 "neighbors and fellow citizens" are. A carefully selected crew of self serving sociopaths living among us would be more accurate.

And what if instead of axes and hammers the people had had AR-15s and semi-automatic shotguns? An excellent first hand observation from a man of integrity.

People comply when the Mob "offers" to sell them Insurance too. It's probably better to comply than to resist and get really hurt by a system of sociopathic violent extortion...but it can't last. There is very likely a crash coming and no one will be volunteering to give these monsters anything.

All true Mike. But America also holds the greatest number of people who are law abiding in the "justice" sense and are able to enforce it.
